Summary

Jotaro Kujo is the grandson of Joseph Joestar, the third "JoJo" in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and the main protagonist of Part III: Stardust Crusaders. ​​​​​A short-tempered, troublemaking delinquent, he discovers that he is haunted by an "evil spirit" in 1988, and, fearing this spirit, he gets himself locked away in prison. Here, he is confronted by his grandfather and his friend, Muhammad Avdol, who reveals that this evil spirit is the manifestation of his vital energy, a Stand - Star Platinum.

After being told of the reappearance and story of his great-great-grandfather's killer, DIO, Jotaro expresses disinterest and contempt, but due to DIO's use of the Stand Arrow, the Joestar bloodline begins to awaken Stands of their own; including his mother, who is too peaceful to survive and exist with such a power. Driven to save his mother, Jotaro sets on a course to Egypt with his grandfather and their allies to defeat the immortal DIO, as the Stardust Crusaders.

Ten years later in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable, Jotaro arrives in the town of Morioh to locate his grandfather's illegitimate son, Josuke Higashikata, and warn him of the dangers lurking in his unassuming town. Even later in Part VI: Stone Ocean, Jotaro would end up helping his daughter Jolyne Kujo with her fight against Enrico Pucci.

Powers and Stats

Dimensionality: 3D

Threat Level: At least Wolf physically, Demon- with Stand. Higher when angered, far higher at his peak | At least Wolf physically, Demon- with Stand

Powers and Abilities:

• Pre-DIO's World
• Post-DIO's World

Jotaro and Star Platinum have the following abilities from the Stand Physiology, Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (Star Platinum possesses amazing eyesight, able to see and let its user see up to 400 meters and see in extremely fine details like an insect of a specific species in near complete darkness), Limited Elasticity (Star Platinum can extend its index and middle fingers to attack beyond its normal range), Super Breath (Can continuously draw in air with his lungs, managed to remove fog from nearly an entire town), Strength and power Amplification (When angered, Jotaro's Star Platinum went from being weaker than The World to being able to being able to one shot it)

All previous abilities, plus Star Platinum: The World has Time Stop (Can stop time for up to five seconds, and can move in it during usage. Said usage varies, with its lower durations being from 1~2 seconds) and Limited Resistance to Time Stop (Can see and think within stopped time, as well as move for a short period in it)

Physical Strength: Wall level physically, Multi Block level with Stand. Higher when angered, far higher at his peak | Wall level physically, Multi Block level with Stand

Attack Potency: Wall (Casually beat up Forever, an orangutan. Kicked a cop so hard he flew several meters and destroyed a garage door. Even when reduced to a child, he was capable of overpowering Alessi. Casually kicked through a chain). Multi Block with Star Platinum (Superior to his Diamond Is Unbreakable and Stone Ocean iterations. Has a reputation as the most powerful Stand during Stardust Crusaders. One of the strongest Stands in the entire series, surpassing Stands such as Whitesnake, Magician's Red and more in nearly all physical capabilities. Far stronger than the likes of Dio Brando's minions like Tarkus and comparable, albeit weaker than The World and is heralded as a Stand with unmatched power as the strongest warrior that demonstrates first-class power as the strongest Stand in the world). Higher when enraged (Grows exponentially when angered. Could cave in DIO's skull and tear him apart. While angry, Jotaro was capable of punching a hole through The World's body despite being previously outmatched merely moments prior. Broke a further strengthened HIGH DIO's The World's hand and damaged HIGH DIO), far higher at its peak (Upon hitting his breaking point, getting as angry as he possibly could, broke both of HIGH DIO's legs with one blow and he annihilated HIGH DIO's The World in one final cross-counter, smashing him to pieces and killing him) | Wall (Split Josuke's lip). Multi Block with Star Platinum: The World (Weaker than his Stardust Crusaders self, but still somewhat comparable. Even then, it has been referenced as the strongest Stand during the beginning of Diamond Is Unbreakable and stated to be the strongest Stand known to man toward the end, reiterated in multiple supplementary guides as the strongest Stand within Diamond Is Unbreakable, placing him above Red Hot Chili Pepper at its maximum known output, which is furthered by the fact Akira himself acknowledges Star Platinum as the "Ultimate Stand" and is terrified of Jotaro. Further stated again in JoJo 6251 as the number 1 in terms of strengths, and is regarded by both Josuke and Akira as the most powerful Stand, Koichi thought no Stand could withstand Star Platinum's power despite being fully aware of both Crazy Diamond's and Red Hot Chili Pepper's capabilities. Much stronger than the likes of Crazy Diamond in its base state and Killer Queen with the latter having been soundly defeated even while Jotaro was nearing death and later casually crippling a weakened Killer Queen, shattering its hand and breaking its body with every blow. Referenced as a nearly invincible Stand with exceptional power in all Parts he appears in, outclassing practically every Stand in his respective Parts in pure physical capabilities. Completely rejected Jolyne Kujo when she tried to use it, an instance that had never been seen in all other instances of DISCs. Even during Stone Ocean, Star Platinum was stated again to be the most powerful stand to ever exist, making it superior to the likes of Stone Free)

Durability: Multi Block physically (Survived without any damage to a plane crash; took blows and barrage of rush attacks from The World constantly and kept fighting) and with Stand (Star Platinum can take blows from other powerful close range Stands) | Multi Block physically (should still be able to take blows from as this levels) and with Stand (Star Platinum should still take blows from other powerful close range Stands)

Speed: FTLx reactions physically, FTLx reactions and combat speed with Star Platinum (Comparable to Polnareff's Silver Chariot, who tagged Hanged Man point blank range and deflected beams of light from the Sun. Fought Anubis, who was faser than Silver Chariot, and upon taking control of Polnareff and his stand, boosted said stand to be able to fight and even slowly surpass Star Platinum despite Jotaro not going all out in order to save Polnareff's life. Matched DIO's The World, who is the same type of Stand as Star Platinum. As Jotaro is in his prime, his stand should be faster than his Part 4 and 6 iterations) | FTLx reactions physically, FTLx reactions and combat speed with Star Platinum: The World (Shouldn't be too far behind its Part 3 iteration. Even throughout Part 4, it was stated to be number 1 in terms of physical stats including speed, making it faster than the likes of Red Hot Chili Pepper who can travel at light speed, with Koichi stating only Jotaro's Stand could keep up and Akira avoiding Jotaro at all cost, further supporting this claim. Even when severely weakened, it was able to counter Killer Queen and punch it with such speed Kira thought it "slowed down time". Was faster than other protagonists stands to manifest and attack before they could.)

Intelligence: Genius (Though he may appear short-tempered and straightforward, Jotaro is remarkably cunning and resourceful, taking after his grandfather in many ways. Though his Stand may be the simplest of all, Jotaro's intelligence more than makes up for this straightforwardness, as he can easily bluff and lure opponents into vulnerable positions from which to beat them senseless. When cornered, Jotaro will even rely on the Joestar secret technique of simply running away, though to a more advantageous position, such as luring Rubber Soul into the water so that he'd have no choice to breathe. Impressively, he even bluffed Daniel J. D'Arby, who was able to cheat even his grandfather, into passing out. He showcased his intelligence best in his final battle with DIO, using a simple magnet trick to buy time by convincing DIO he can move within stop time before the trick was revealed, baiting DIO into attacking him during stopped time and leaving himself vulnerable to counterattack. He also had the foresight to pad his clothing with magazines to lower the impact of any projectiles, and he lured DIO into yet another trap by playing dead, taking the opportunity to crush his skull. As an adult, Jotaro has become calmer and even more intelligent, so much so that he's stated to always be calm and collected in a fight, carefully analyzing Kira's household to profile him and his motivations, coming to many accurate conclusions regarding his personality and motivations. He has also become a marine biologist who contributed greatly to the field. Jotaro is also bilingual, fluent in at least Japanese and English). Star Platinum has been shown to have it's own self-sentience being described as violent and hard to control, Star Platinum despite following Jotaro's commands has shown the intelligence to act on its own in some situations for the benefit of Jotaro, such as finding and bringing Jotaro items to entertain himself with or in most cases, self-preservation, acting on its own if given the chance when Jotaro otherwise can't or is unable to.)

Stamina: Very High (Jotaro's willpower and resilience are phenomenal, enough for him to withstand many beatdowns from DIO and the World during their climactic showdown, persisting to deliver a killing blow even after having multiple bones broken. In Part 4, Jotaro was able to continue advancing on and dodging attacks from Bug-Eaten despite continually stopping time whilst being affected by his poison. After being nearly killed by Sheer Heart Attack, Jotaro was still able to force himself to his feet and catch Kira off guard before beating him down with Star Platinum: The World)

Range: Standard melee range. Extended Melee range with Star Platinum (Star Platinum has an effective range of 2 meters), higher with Star Finger. Tens or Hundred of meters with projectiles (He can flick projectiles up to twenty meters with perfect accuracy and threw Iggy around 400 meters at N'Doul). Universal+ with time stop (Araki says it extends in outer space. Star Platinum is a Stand with a type whose ability to manipulate time is "irrelevant", being capable of affecting the entire world)

Weaknesses: Stand Physiology weaknesses. He is quick to anger, though he becomes calmer as he matures and ages. | Can only stop time for up to five seconds with Star Platinum: The World and must wait a moment before he can use it again. Disuse of this ability over a long period of time will cause his maximum duration to decrease.

His Stand, Star Platinum

Noteworthy Techniques and Abilities

Star Platinum: Jotaro's Stand. A muscular, violet humanoid close-range Stand with a violent reputation. Rather straightforward for a Stand, Star Platinum's powers focus near entirely around beating down opponents in close quarters with brutal, high-speed barrages of punches and kicks. It is one of the strongest Stands of all, proving itself to be a match for Stands as fast and powerful as Silver Chariot, Crazy Diamond, and even The World, which is the same type of Stand.

• Precision: Star Platinum is incredibly precise, capable of catching a bullet inches away from Jotaro shooting himself as a test and surgically removing DIO's flesh buds from Polnareff and Kakyoin's brains without causing any damage, something that even the world's greatest surgeons couldn't accomplish. It was also able to accurately sketch a photorealistic drawing of a tsetse fly from a small, low-quality photo, as well as catching the Lovers, an incredibly small Stand. Lastly, its eyesight can make out objects from hundreds of meters away as well as catch Daniel J. D'Arby cheating by second dealing.
• Star Finger: Star Platinum stores energy within its index finger before jabbing it forwards, extending it up to two meters. This can be used to catch opponents by surprise and attack other close-range Stands from a safer distance.

Star Platinum: The World: During Jotaro's dramatic final battle with DIO, he unlocked the ability to move within stopped time, and eventually, to stop time himself. Within his world of frozen time, only Jotaro and Star Platinum can move normally, and they have up to five seconds to do so. Initially, Jotaro could only move for up to three seconds at a time, and, due to disuse over the years, the maximum duration lowered to a measly second and later to 2 seconds until he eventually raised it back to its peak of five seconds. Unlike DIO, Jotaro is only human, and repetitive use of the ability is extremely taxing on his stamina thus making it a requirement to take some pause between each use.

Notes

1) The duration of Jotaro's time stop varies. While stated in its part 6 graph and during the late events to be able to stop time for up to 5 seconds, it was stated around the start of Part 4 that Jotaro had not used its ability for a decade. Because of this disuse, Star Platinum: The World could only stop time for a moment. But throughout the duration of Part 4, Jotaro's constant usage allowed him to go from 1 second to 2 second towards the end. Even in the start of Part 6, Jotaro could still only stop time for 2 seconds implying that he didn't put further effort into stopping time to its maximum duration until the end. Thus, it's important to note which Jotaro is being used as well as to how long can he stop time for.
